Application Compatibility Testing

The success of a software application is defined by its reach. Ensuring that a large set of users are benefitted by the application or product, is essential for business growth. This emphasizes the need for IT products to be functioning well across a myriad of hardware, software, network and browser versions.

Testree has an array of rich tools and operates in real time test environments necessary for thorough application compatibility testing of the applications for their compatibility in multiple environments.

Through its software compatibility testing services, Testree has a proven track record of ensuring compatibility of software systems to an array of platforms, browsers, devices, web servers, databases, peripherals like printer, USB, DVD drive etc and third party applications like payment gateways as can be seen below:

Testree’s Application Compatibility Testing Methodology

We adopt an experimental approach to application compatibility testing. We create multiple sets of real test environments with different configurations of hardware, software, operating systems, networks and database servers and perform software compatibility testing to ensure their compatibility to all configurations.

Testree’s Application Compatibility Testing methodology can be summarized as follows:

Requirements Analysis

We analyze the application’s scope and determine the set of hardware and software parameters to be included in the software compatibility testing. Based on the application’s user base, we arrive at an optimal set of environments to be tested for compatibility.

Planning

We design the test environments and prepare comprehensive testing strategies based on the established scope and system configurations matrix to be tested.

Execution

Our seasoned quality consultants execute application compatibility testing with innovative methodologies and specialized tools. We use a fusion of manual and automated testing methods according to the demands of the applications.

Reporting

We produce detailed defect reports with the list of environments covered in testing and the incompatibilities identified. We also provide consultation with the analysis of possible reasons and recommendations for resolving the issues.

Testree’s Cross-Browser Compatibility Testing

The user interface of an IT application can make or mar its success. Its compatibility to multiple browsers is very important in achieving the desired objective of the application.

Testree’s expert team verifies the consistency of user experience and functionality of applications across multitude of browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera etc.

We use latest tools to support our application compatibility testing like

BrowserShots – A popular open source online tool with multiple browser combinations for Windows and Linux platforms.

Adobe BrowserLab – A tool to check compatibility of selected browser and OS combinations and compare the results.

Cross Browser Testing – An interactive tool with remote VNC sessions for live testing of web page scripts like AJAX, Javascript and Flash and for multiple browser compatibility.

Testree’s Database Application Compatibility Testing

Today’s IT applications need to maintain volumes of complex data. The performance of applications largely relies on the efficiency of the supporting databases. Database validation is made to ensure the application’s speed, reliability and its consistency of performance in different versions of databases.

Testree’s Network Compatibility Testing

Testree performs thorough web and mobile application compatibility testing across various networking hardware with different bandwidth, speed and capacity. We validate compatibility to various hardware platforms like Firewalls and Proxies, web servers and applications servers. We also verify the compatibility of the peripheral devices.

Our Network and server compatibility testing is supported by the following set of software and hardware:
